We went for a romantic diner, and that was the perfect venue. The service was kind and attentive. The singers (part of the service team) enchanted this moment. We booked saying that it was for a special occasion ("love anniversary") and they had prepared and dedicated a song, with a trio, for us ; we were very touched by their...

I took my partner to Bel Canto for her Birthday. It was the first time either of us had been there and after making the booking I found myself fearing the worst. Would the food be mediocre because it was all about the singing ? Would the singing be poor because waiters are not generally good opera singers ? Would...

Myself and my girlfriend visited in February. I'm not an opera lover and neither is she, but we fancied a novel dining experience while visiting London and indeed we go that. Great entertainment and singing from animated waiting staff. However the food was average, foie gras to start was a bit tasteless and the we both had the chicken for...

This was our second visit to Bel Canto and we enjoyed it just as much as the first time. We were with our friends from Italy and therefore wanted it to be special for them. As it was a Thursday the restaurant was not as full as before which we enjoyed because the atmosphere was so intimate and we were...

Our first visit to Bel Canto and we were not disappointed. The entrance does not do Bel Canto justice stepping down off Lancaster Gate / Bayswater Road into what looks like a basement, once inside the atmosphere takes over and you transposed into another world. The friendly staff some of whom are opera singers make the occasion and we were...

It was a lovely evening, I was especially pleased with the food, it was delicious we had the two course menu, but...
